The splendid 2001 Gewurztraminer Furstentum Vendanges Tardives explodes from the glass with candied apricots, white chocolate, and grapefruit zests. A broad, intense, exotic wine, it slathers the palate with massive quantities of spices, mangoes, apricots, and passion fruits. This sultry, yet well-balanced effort is deep, concentrated, and reveals an enormously long, fruit-packed finish. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2019. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel.
